What people are saying about Land of Opportunity:

LAND OF OPPORTUNITY is an important part of the New Orleans story. It gets down and dirty with the people on the ground. Five years in the making, Luisaâ€™s film gives voice to everyday people working hard to rebuild their city and their lives. Anyone who cares about the future of cities in this country should see this movie!
<br></br>- Spike Lee

You have produced a project that transcends its boundaries – that of being a documentary about Katrina and its aftermath. Instead it is a documentary project about the current state of our nation. [â€¦] I think its biggest asset is its ability to portray beyond New Orleans, its characters and situations. These characters and situations, in fact, can be presently found throughout the U.S.
<br></br> – Alvaro Donado, Independent Filmmaker and Producer

_I was involved with Katrina solidarity work for several years, so I knew the history of the housing struggle. But even though I knew many of the stories, I sat breathless for 2 hours as I watched the film. The way you have centered people’s stories and let the stories speak for both the oppression and resistance is truly awesome._<br></br>- Sharon Martinas, co-editor of ‘A Katrina Reader’ on line (katrinareader.org)

I especially appreciate the focus on organizing, which I feel like is something no other documentary has shown to the same extent. I appreciate that the film ends with a sense of urgency- hopeful but not rosy.
